Potential applications of photovoltaic technologies for biomimetic adaptive solar building envelopes (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Jalali, S., Nicoletti, E., & Badarnah, L. (in press). Potential applications of photovoltaic technologies for biomimetic adaptive solar building envelopes.

Building envelope as an interface between the outside and inside of the building serves more than its loadbearing function and has a pivotal role in regulating and saving energy. This role necessitates the adaptability of the building envelope to the... Read More about Potential applications of photovoltaic technologies for biomimetic adaptive solar building envelopes.

Environmental adaptation of buildings through morphological differentiation: A biomimetic approach (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Badarnah, L. (2018). Environmental adaptation of buildings through morphological differentiation: A biomimetic approach.

Morphology and form are most common traits to be transferred from natural systems into architecture. However, such traits seldom retain any function of the imitated systems from nature, and therefore hardly represent a successful biomimetic design. T...

Water Management Lessons from Nature for Applications to Buildings (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Badarnah, L. (2016). Water Management Lessons from Nature for Applications to Buildings. . https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2016.04.180

© 2016 The Authors. Water management and regulation in buildings have been facing real challenges with the increasing environmental awareness during the last decades. Current concerns of shortage in water resources increase the demands to enhance wat... Read More about Water Management Lessons from Nature for Applications to Buildings.

Light Management Lessons from Nature for Building Applications (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Badarnah, L. (2016). Light Management Lessons from Nature for Building Applications. . https://doi.org/10.1016/j.proeng.2016.04.049

© 2016 The Authors. The increasing environmental awareness in the building context has raised the demands towards more efficient use of resources and the development of renewable energy solutions. Buildings are exposed to solar radiation at different... Read More about Light Management Lessons from Nature for Building Applications.
